46°halo is an indie / rock / electro / shoegaze band from Japan.
The band's first CD album, "rebirth," was released from its own label, echoroom records, on February 26, 2008.
46°halo started out as Takahiro Ishizuka's solo project.
Ishizuka was born and grew up in Hokkaido, and started a band called Gash in Sapporo.
The band relocated to Tokyo and released a few albums, toured, and performed and the Rising Sun Rock Festival.
In 2005, however, Gash split up.
After the split, Ishizuka established his own label, echoroom records, and as 46°halo, went back into the studio to record the demo "Clock" in 2006.
He went on to record several other demos.
After receiving overwhelming positive feedback on his demos on Myspace and his live shows, joined by Hiroki and Masato, he decided to go back to the studio to record a CD.
That CD, "rebirth," was released in February 2008.
Immediately after its release, bassist Kajimoto joined the group.
46°halo was then reborn as a full-fledged band.
I am happy to see you have become a full band! It is a great feeling to see your music fully come to life on stage! Congrats on the album release!
I just finished a collaboration with The Passion Weak and the end result reminded me of your music! It's a track called "Terra Firma", I released it once on MySpace a while back when it was just a guitar track. Now it is a whole new element. I invite you to stop by and listen when you get a chance.
Our new album "Herbarium" is
out now on CdBaby (MP3 so far, physical CD is on its way).
Diverse palette of styles (post-rock,
ambient, electronica, trip-hop, with elements of noise, dub,
neoclassic and free improvisation), united by cinematic, slightly
pensive mood.
«Herbarium» is called so
because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be
compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged
to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here,
only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that
herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up
in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river,
contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured
in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and
meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so
on.
All compositions are united by Poostosh
sense of music – mostly pensive, spatial, tender and experimental.
There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let
your soul look over our HERBARIUM.
Your smile still finds us smiling back at you With eggshells behind We find ourselves meeting your eyes in time To catch the tears there Were you staring at the sun, Remembering?
Pulling yourself behind a wall of words To feel protected Like in a room of moans where no one goes Queen of what you know Your friends begin to question The places you go
Do you feel the pain when you know you can’t win, But still have to try? Playing games that seem inconsequential Later biting you Needing to sacrifice Lamb turned hero
Better than all the others in your wake Put them in their place They would dare to match what they think you have And prove themselves wrong You seem to be this race’s golden one They won’t soon forget
Was your first choice the wrong one to be made? His first choice worried And maybe she knew better than he did When he made his choice Each one still passed the other With no questions
One went ahead where the other faltered Seeing how you glowed Everyone guessed together you were whole A better ending Than what happened for you both in the end A nightmare for some
We could not believe our eyes The way you shone Leading us to places we could never go Our hero again Your stars a map in the night A path for us
And took us places they feared our footsteps Our calls were echoes When the fighting stole our breath None left behind We had you, and they knew their lives would end Their words would be choked
